Race Kit Pick-Up
We are delighted to share that this year’s Strides for Seniors has drawn a record number of participants. As a result, the first 500 participants will receive a commemorative T-shirt and swag bag, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Every participant, of course, will receive their official race bib.
You have two convenient options for picking up your race kit (bibs, T-shirts, etc.), and you are welcome to choose whichever works best for you — there’s no need to let us know in advance.
